    You did say 2 ( not 20 or 12 )
    I thought two was the correct doze for a adult. *** assuming you are a adult.

    I think for most OTC meds, anyone over the age of 12 takes the "adult dosage" which I think is 2 for Tylenol. You should be fine.

    As for overdose... you'd have to take way more than 2. It'd depend on a lot of variables (height/weight, mingling with other drugs, medical history, etc) For someone your age, I definitely wouldn't advise taking more than 2 however. If you have enough pain that 2 tablets aren't effective, call your dr before taking more than the recommended dosage.
